4313 There’s No Lack of Reckless Supreme Powerhouses

Duan Ling Tian naturally did not know that he was so valuable now.

Rewards were being offered up one after another in the base camps in the advanced chaotic region.

...

In the beginning, these people secretly put a bounty on Duan Ling Tian, but as time went by, these people began to do it openly.

“Heavens! The rewards have increased again! Duan Ling Tian is like a treasure now!”

“He’s undoubtedly a treasure! What’s more important than killing him now? As long as you’re able to kill him and record the process, you’ll receive the rewards no matter who you are. Moreover, you’ll receive the rewards from everyone who put a bounty on Duan Ling Tian!”

“I heard some people say that these rewards are even better than what you can get from killing others….”

“Alas, I’m not strong enough to kill him. Otherwise, I’ll search for him tirelessly like the others as well…”

“It’s fine even if you can’t kill him. Many people have also offered up rewards if you can provide them with Duan Ling Tian’s exact location. Naturally, your information has to be accurate and they have to successfully kill Duan Ling Tian before you can receive the rewards. It’s said that the reward is one-tenth of the rewards from the bounties.”

“One-tenth?! That’s a lot! Perhaps, the value of the rewards is even better than the value of the rewards of ranking in the top three of a category…”

“I don’t know about that. The reward for the ranking is the divine fountain. The divine fountain is a rare and precious treasure. How can the rewards from the bounties compare to the divine fountain?”

As the rewards for killing Duan Ling Tian increased, many people in the base camps were busy discussing it.

At this moment, it was as though everyone in the world wanted Duan Ling Tian’s life.

…

Ning Yi Xuan had been working very hard during this time to rank in the top ten of the intermediate Supreme God ranking. He spent most of his time in secret realms, and when he was waiting to enter the secret realms, he would usually go to a base camp to rest.

When Ning Yi Xuan went to the base camp this time, he also discovered the many bounties that had been placed.

‘Duan Ling Tian…’

Although Ning Yi Xuan had long suspected that Duan Ling Tian would be targeted after the announcement about the overall ranking, he did not expect so many forces and people would offer up so many generous rewards to kill Duan Ling Tian.

Ning Yi Xuan was from a prime supreme-rank force and was favored by his clan’s supreme powerhouse. For this reason, he had seen many precious things before. Even then, he was still shocked by the rewards for killing Duan Ling Tian.

“Many of these people are from prime supreme-rank forces… Did they obtain the approval of their respective supreme powerhouse before doing this? Wait… They wouldn’t have dared to do this if they didn’t have the approval of their respective supreme powerhouses. However, aren’t the other supreme powerhouses who are committed to the purpose of the Realm Battlefield and the advanced chaotic region going to do anything about it? Or are they unaware of this?”

…

Many supreme powerhouses tacitly agreed to place a bounty on Duan Ling Tian, and it caused other supreme powerhouses to feel dissatisfied. Those who felt dissatisfied were those who genuinely hoped to cultivate more powerhouses in the God Defying World. It was only natural that they were dissatisfied with the others targeting a prodigy like Duan Ling Tian.

“Duan Ling Tian is undoubtedly a prodigy. If they target him and he dies, it’ll be a huge loss to our God Defying World!”

“That’s right. It’ll be a loss to us. The purpose of the Realm Battlefield is to discover and cultivate prodigies. That’s how we discovered Duan Ling Tian. It’s really not fair that these forces are targeting him after the announcement of the overall ranking was made.”

“Using the divine fountain as a reward, opening the advanced chaotic region, and even the creation of the overall ranking were proposed by that person. Did he acquiesce to this?”

…

At the same time, a young man dressed in a robe as white as snow stood with his hands on his back in a pavilion that hung in the endless void. He stared ahead blankly, and no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

After a while, a middle-aged man appeared behind the young man and asked, “My lord, are you really not going to intervene?”

Upon hearing this question, the young man smiled faintly. “Intervene? Intervene in what matter?”

“The bounties placed on Duan Ling Tian can longer be considered a competition among the cultivators in the advanced chaotic region. This matter has become a battle of interests between the major supreme-rank forces and Duan Ling Tian,” the middle-aged man said in a deep voice, “Most importantly, this wouldn’t have happened without those people’s approval…”

The middle-aged man continued to say, “My lord, don’t you have high hopes for Duan Ling Tian? There’s no need to push him into a fire pit like this, right? He’s facing prime supreme-rank forces that have supreme powerhouses… His chances of winning are extremely low. Based on what I heard, his location in the advanced chaotic region was discovered not long ago and he almost died… He…”

At this time, the white-clad young man calmly interjected, “So what do you want to say? Do you think I should intervene and warn the others? Tell them to withdraw the bounties?”

“Yes,” the middle-aged man said, “No matter what, Duan Ling Tian is just a rudimentary Supreme God, and his cultivation base has yet to stabilize. It’s nearly impossible for him to survive now that he has to face those aggressive intermediate and advanced Supreme Gods from prime supreme-rank forces.”

After a pause, the middle-aged man asked, “Don’t tell me you think he’ll be able to survive this?”

The white-clad young man said with a slight smile on his face, “I don’t think about him. What does he have to do with me? Do you think I suggested opening the advanced chaotic region and creating the overall ranking to target him? If he’s not confident about surviving, he can always enter a base camp or leave the advanced chaotic region. Once he does that, who will target him? Based on what he had gained so far, even if he leaves now, he’ll likely still rank in the top three of the rudimentary Supreme God ranking. It’s just that he won’t be able to rank in the top three of the overall ranking. Under these circumstances, if he overestimates himself and is killed as a result, he can only blame himself for being greedy. If he dies because of this reason, no matter how talented he is and how great his future achievements are, he won’t be able to survive in the Outer Boundary. No matter how talented one is, how is one going to protect the God Defying World if one can’t survive in the Outer Boundary?”

The white-clad young man continued to say calmly, “I know you think highly of him, but you’re worrying too much. You’ve come a long way and have experienced a lot. Can’t you understand this matter? Even if you cherish talents, you have to remember that talent is useless if the other party is reckless. Even if the other party is able to become a supreme powerhouse, he or she won’t be able to survive long after leaving the God Defying World. In the God Defying World, there’s no lack of mediocre supreme powerhouses, and there’s also no lack of reckless supreme powerhouses who don’t know when to advance and retreat.”

“You should leave now. In the future, don’t look for me again because of this matter again. You can consider that I acquiesced to this matter. This matter is not completely out of his control. If he doesn’t want to die, all he needs to do is leave the advanced chaotic region,” the white-clad young man said, clearly displeased and impatient.

“I understand,” the middle-aged man said. After listening to the white-clad young man’s words, he naturally no longer said anything else. He also realized that he had been indeed too concerned about the prodigies and that he had forgotten that Duan Ling Tian could leave whenever he wanted to. If Duan Ling Tian did not leave because he overestimated himself, then Duan Ling Tian could only blame himself if he died.

The middle-aged thought to himself, ‘I’ll stop caring about this matter. It all depends on him whether he lives or dies…’

…

Duan Ling Tian naturally did not know that he had attracted the attention of many supreme powerhouses even though he was just a new rudimentary Supreme God. He was also unaware that a supreme powerhouse had spoken out for him.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian had been discovered even though he had been very cautious when he traveled. He sensed three intermediate Supreme Gods tailing him from afar. However, they were clearly afraid of him because they did not make a move at all.

‘They haven’t made a move yet… Are they waiting for someone? It seems like an advanced Supreme God might show up later…’

After a while, the trio still did not do anything and only followed Duan Ling Tian, causing him to feel puzzled.

Among the trio, one was skilled in the law of wind and was capable of manifesting the phenomenon that could shine for a million miles. As such, although Duan Ling Tian could teleport, he would still be able to catch up to Duan Ling Tian.

‘After crossing the huge canyon up ahead, I’ll kill the other two if they’re still following me. Those two aren’t skilled in the law of wind so they won’t be able to escape when I kill them…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes glinted coldly.

When Duan Ling Tian finally crossed the huge canyon, he discovered that the trio was still following him. Hence, he stopped moving and teleported to the back.

When Duan Ling Tian reappeared near the three intermediate Supreme Gods, their expressions changed immediately. The one who was skilled in the law of wind quickly retreated to the side before he called out to his two companions, “Be careful!”

One of the other two was skilled in the law of earth. In just a moment, a dark yellow energy surged from his body and formed a defensive barrier around him before he retreated.

As for the final person, rippling energy like the water swept out from his body like a tidal wave.

The duo chose to attack and retreat decisively. Although they were rather strong intermediate Supreme Gods, they did not dare to underestimate Duan Ling Tian who was a rudimentary Supreme God at all. After all, words of Duan Ling Tian’s strength had spread far and wide.
